And here are the books I'm planning on reading:

A book with a quest for lost person/item - Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse
Top Secret Mini Boss Battle Strength - Light Mage by Laurie Forest
A feel good book  - Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

A book with a journey - Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger
A book with a group cast - The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson
Side Quest Book: Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta
A book with an epic battle - Strike the Zither by Joan He
Free book space - The Shadow Wand by Laurie Forest
Your longest or physically largest book - The Cradle of Ice by James Rollins
A sequel that you have low hopes for but still own - King of Fools by Amanda Foody 
A book with a trope you hate - The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani
A green book cover or a book with plants as a theme - Being Mary Bennet by J. C. Peterson
Top Secret Mini Boss Battle - A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer

A fast-paced or short book - Mysteries of Thorn Manor by Margaret Rogerson
Free book space - The Poisoner's Ring by Kelley Armstrong
Final Boss Battle - The Infinity of You & Me by J.Q. Coyle
Read a book from another one of the strengths/weakness prompts - This Cursed Crown by Alexandra Overy
Don't worry about this one xoxo - Five Survive by Holly Jackson

Top Secret Mini Boss Battle is to use your strength. For me, that's CUS Veteran. So for me, it's free space. So I chose Light Mage by Laurie Forest. 

Top Secret Mini Boss Battle is to is to deal with your weakness. For me, that's Readathon Harlot. So for me, it's Read a book you have dnf'd before, or, one you have low expectations of. So I chose A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer, I've had it on the TBR a while, and I loved book 1 and enjoyed book 2, so I'm nervous about book 3. 

Final Boss Battle is to use your weapon. For me, that's The Monster Under Your Bed. So for me, it's Read a book that’s been gathering Dust. So I chose The Infinity of You & Me by J.Q. Coyle. I've had it since 2016, so that works! 

Read a book from another one of the strengths/weakness prompts. I chose Genre Soulmate, with the prompt of read a 5-star prediction from your fave genre. I chose This Cursed Crown by Alexandra Overy. 

Next to be Published November 2022 Sign Up

I'm doing this again this month! I've slowly been working on my reviews, and my percentage on NetGalley went up to 77%-and then I got more books and it went back down to 76%.

The rules for this are the only non-ARC's that I'll be reading in November are ones that are earlier books in series for books I have ARC's of, though again, there's my Book Battle TBR, but I'm trying my best to have as many ARC's as I can! 

My goal as always for these months, is 30 ARC's. So many books to read, so little time! Must devour them! 

What about you guys? Do you do ARC reading months? Happy reading! 



ARCtober Update 24

So I've read my next book for the ARCtober, and it was Lightlark which is for the prompt Everyone Is Talking About It, and I'll be reading Forbidden next!

Where Dreams Descend

Becca's BookoplAthon: 

ARCtober: 

Random:

OK, so I got 40 posts in 7 days, and yeah, read some really great books. Personally in the week wasn't great, I hurt my finger, and the pain caused me to faint, and I hit my head, and had to go to urgent car to make sure I didn't have a concussion. I didn't, and my finger is fine, and the goosebump on my head has gone away, but yeah, that wasn't fun. What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read Awakening, The Witch King, and The Fae Keeper.

Set in alternate world of art deco beauty and steampunk horror, MONSTRESS tells the epic story of Maika Halfwolf, a teenage survivor of a cataclysmic war between humans and their hated enemies, the Arcanics. In the face of oppression and terrible danger, Maika is both hunter and hunted, searching for answers about her mysterious past as those who seek to use her remain just one step behind… and all the while, the monster within begins to awaken…

Collects MONSTRESS #1-6. 
To save a fae kingdom, a trans witch must face his traumatic past and the royal fiancé he left behind. This debut YA fantasy will leave you spellbound.

Wyatt would give anything to forget where he came from—but a kingdom demands its king.

In Asalin, fae rule and witches like Wyatt Croft…don't. Wyatt's betrothal to his best friend, fae prince Emyr North, was supposed to change that. But when Wyatt lost control of his magic one devastating night, he fled to the human world.

Now a coldly distant Emyr has hunted him down. Despite transgender Wyatt's newfound identity and troubling past, Emyr has no intention of dissolving their engagement. In fact, he claims they must marry now or risk losing the throne. Jaded, Wyatt strikes a deal with the enemy, hoping to escape Asalin forever. But as he gets to know Emyr, Wyatt realizes the boy he once loved may still exist. And as the witches face worsening conditions, he must decide once and for all what's more important—his people or his freedom.
In the heart-stopping sequel to The Witch King, Wyatt and Emyr attempt to rebuild Asalin despite unexpected new enemies within their kingdom.

Two weeks after the door to Faery closed once more, Asalin is still in turmoil. Emyr and Wyatt are hunting Derek and Clarke themselves after having abolished the corrupt Guard, and are trying to convince the other kingdoms to follow their lead. But when they uncover the hidden truth about the witches' real place in fae society, it becomes clear the problems run much deeper than anyone knew. And this may be more than the two of them can fix.

As Wyatt struggles to learn control of his magic and balance his own needs with the needs of a kingdom, he must finally decide on the future he wants—before he loses the future he and Emyr are building…

Wheel of TBR #127, October 30th

I saw Codie's Book Corner doing the Wheel of TBR, and I thought that sounded like a great way to pick what to read from your TBR. So thanks to her! I'll only do 3 spins, because I'm doing this every week, and so it won't make up my total TBR of the week, but it'll be a start!

Rules:
1. For each week of the month, I'll do 3 spins each week to read each week though I do have the rest of the month to read them. Once a prompt is used, I'll randomly choose one from the list, keeping track of how often a colour comes up. If colour comes up 3 or more times in month, I'll do another spin once it comes up 3 times.
2. If I don't read a book that week or at least start it before the end of the month, then for my next week of spins, I have to add a punishment for each book unread. I'll roll for each unread book, and have to apply each and every punishment chosen to the week.
3. Each month I'll get a prompt from my Binge Read Wheel (either specifically picking the prompt, or spinning the wheel) and I have to read at least 9 books, though I can read more!

Of the books from the last week, I read Ivory by Lola Dodge, Temptress by Lola Dodge, Terminated by Rachel Caine, and I started Killbox by Ann Aguirre. 

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, the wheel picked Dying to Read. I read A Darkness At The Door by Intisar Khanani, Pestilence by Laura Thalassa, War by Laura Thalassa, Raven Unveiled by Grace Draven, How I'll Kill You by Ren DeStefano, Greymist Fair by Francesca Zappia, For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, 
Reader, I Murdered Him by Betsy Cornwell, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun by Elle Cosimano, Leopard's Scar by Christine Feehan, so I've read 21/9+.

For this coming month, I chose ARC.

Prompts Used This Week:
Goodreads Recommends, Retelling, Steal a Book.

Goodreads Recommends-Orange-Awakening by Marjorie M. Liu-I was recommended this book in the Adult Fiction Genre.

Retelling-Blue-Strike the Zither by Joan He-This is a retelling of the Chinese classic tale of the Three Kingdoms, so that works! 

Steal a Book-Chartreuse-The Witch King by H.E. Edgmon-This might be stretching things, but it's a Club Read this month with Book Battle, so someone else is going to be reading it, so I'm counting it! 

Colour Totals:
Red: 0
Orange: 1 
Yellow: 0
Chartreuse: 1
Green: 0
Spring Green: 0
Cyan: 0
Azure: 0
Blue: 1
Violet: 0
Magenta: 0
Rose: 0

Prompts for Next Week:
Spine-Red
One Word Title-Orange
A-Z End Author-Yellow
Narrator-Chartreuse
Cover Stereotype-Green
Sat on Shelves-Spring Green
Narrator As Last Read-Cyan
Read a Book in the Same Place-Azure
Late Monthly ARC-Blue

So those are some of the books I'm going to try to read this week. What about you guys? Happy reading!

The Reward Challenge Update #580, October 30th

So I have 54 counts which translates to $27 this week! I'll use it to buy books!
